S.F. 'Real World' house in old Avalon Ballroom

December 3, 2013

While the January air date for the 29th season of MTV's long-running reality show, "Real World," hasn't been set, Chronicle contributor Alec Scott recently got a sneak peek at the Avalon Ballroom's makeover (think "Yellow Submarine" meets "Full House"). The concert venue served as the cast's home during filming. Click through the photos for a walkthrough. For more on the tour, makeover of the Avalon Ballroom and how set designers interpreted S.F. style, see Sunday's Home and Garden section.

San Francisco's Avalon Ballroom got an MTV-style redo for the upcoming season of "Real World." The kitchen and dining room sit in the ground floor's geographic middle. The table is illuminated by Styrofoam cups with Christmas lights inside.
